              @urbanwoodsman:

              I'm after the 666XhS first run. The measurements on the current run are not the same. The Beatle buster is the opposite of what I want, they have a smaller waist and at least a 9.3in+ leg opening and that's at a 36inseam. By the time you hem them for my short ass you have 9.5-9.7in leg opening, which is enormous. I just don't think IH makes a cut anymore that can fit me how I want. If they made cuts in shorter inseams, like in Japan, they would fit me fine because the cut would be true but not on these 36in+ inseams. Any sort of taper there is gets lost once you hem them to 32ish or shorter.

              Tons of other brands fit like fucking gloves, I just don't get it.

              Btw, I tried on the original 666xhs run when they came out and they fit like a glove, just didn't have the cash. Also, tried on Zwer's pair, fit like a glove.

              So I lay in bed last night thinking about this.  Here are the sums:

              We measure the knee 13" below the crotch.  That leaves 23" to the hem on a 36" inseam
              On the  majority of our jeans we taper 1/2" from the knee to the cuff
              That means the taper is 0.022739 of an inch per inch of inseam
              Say we chop 4 inches off, then we lose 0.096857 of an inch in the width
              On a hem that originally measured 9.5, it will now measure 9.41"

                  That's fucking maddening. Is there a doorman or receptionist at the destination?

                  Think it, be it.

                    Finn … I'm guessing it's a guy at the customs.
                    Had the same issue once ... online tracking says delivered to XXXX .... ran frightened through the whole neighborhood to find somebody with this name ...  😞  .... three days later came the letter with the info to pick it up at customs

                        Rafa seems somebody from your employer with that name signed and picked it on your behalf at your sight. I do that with our receptionists too, without problems though. Good luck and chase the frischknecht guy. Probably your package is waiting for you in your room or so?

                        Cheers,

                                    the A-2 fits perfect imo and the LW might need a bit of wear! but i really like the look of an engineer on my feet…let's hope i don't get addicted 😶

                                          So I lay in bed last night thinking about this.  Here are the sums:

                                          We measure the knee 13" below the crotch.  That leaves 23" to the hem on a 36" inseam
                                          On the  majority of our jeans we taper 1/2" from the knee to the cuff
                                          That means the taper is 0.022739 of an inch per inch of inseam
                                          Say we chop 4 inches off, then we lose 0.096857 of an inch in the width
                                          On a hem that originally measured 9.5, it will now measure 9.41"

                                          Glad I'm not the only one who dreams of numbers and likes them. Really impressive reading this. What I take from that is the taper/fit for Urbs that wasn't working is most realistically likely because they're new?

                                            Finn, that's the worst random rant ever (in the end 😉 ). Very happy that's how it ended too. I have images of a sexy school teacher who's willing to do any kind of favor for you 😉
